Stability of Florothene Under Exposure to Gamma Radiation

Description: The stability of fluorothene (polytrifluorochloroethylene, Kel-F) to gamma radiation has been investigated to estimate the probable life expectancy of fluorothene equipment exposed to Purex process solutions. Samples of fluorothene were exposed to total gamma radiation dosages up to 10 degree R. The results of these tests substantiate the findings reported by Sisman and Bopp in their compilation of data on the affects of radiation on plastics.

The Effect of Radiation on the Corrosion of Metals by Water

Description: Technical report. Long-time tests have been made on the effect of various types of radiation on the corrosion of 2S aluminum in simulated W water. In no case was any acceleration of corrosion by the radiation observed; the effect of radiation, if any, appeared to be a protective one. Deuteron irradiation did accelerate the corrosion of mild steel at low flow rates in hot water of pH 6 to 7, but no appreciable effect was observed with copper, stainless steel, or tuballoy. The general theory … more

Gamma Ray Spectrometry

Description: In the measurement of radioactive nuclides which emit gamma rays, the use of gamma ray spectrometer is comparable to the use of the ordinary spectrograph in analytic chemistry. The gamma radiation emitted by radioactive nuclides is electromagnetic radiation identical in fundamental nature with the visible, infrared and ultraviolet light found in ordinary spectroscopy.

Zone Refining and Chemical Analysis of KCI and KBr Progress Report

Description: Upon initiation of our alkali halide purification program, we desired an accurate and complete chemical analysis of representative samples of the best salt commercially available. It was concluded that the most sensitive and probably most nearly complete technique is that provided by neutron activation.

Acute Radiotoxicity of Injected Yttrium91

Description: Report describing results of experiments that involved injecting radioactive yttrium into animals: "The excretion, retention, and distribution of the yttrium was measured, and its effect on survival and growth was observed. The average total excretion of Y91 to the time of death (from 76 hours to 24 days) was a little less than 30 per cent of the injected dose" (p. 2).

Measurements on the Environmental Radioactivity in India from Nuclear Weapon Tests. Data Collected During 1956-61

Description: In this report the data on the measurements of radio activity of air, rainwater, milk and a variety of food samples is tabulated. A brief outline of the sampling and counting procedures is also given. Interpretation and discussion of the results as well as further details of the methods of sampling and counting have already been given in the various reports published by this section. A bibliography of those reports is given at the end.

K [infinity] in Uranium - Water Lattices

Description: This report follows experiments on K[infinity], measuring the element for several red sizes, enrichments, and water-to-uranium volume ratios-(1, 2), by making use of the relation k[infinity] = 0M-[2]B-[2] (M-2 = migration area, B = buckling). The purpose of this report is to compare the experimental data for k[infinity] with values calculated from the four-factor formula k[infinity] = [eta][epsilon]pf.

An Investigation of Scaling of Zirconium at Elevated Temperatures

Description: The scaling behavior of zirconium has been investigated in the temperature range 800 to 1000°C. From the results thus far obtained, it appears that zirconium scales at a somewhat lower rate in O2 (760 mm Hg) than in air.
